Blogger Meet Up, 8 Miles, Remy Update

Hi Friends! Happy (almost) Halloween!! So the candy corn shots were a mix of candy corn vodka (seriously) and bailey's. So it tasted like a white Russian candy corn explosion. Fabulous, just fabulous. And Happy Friday indeed. I had a GREAT day today! Recap time:
  • Work + good meetings + a little bit of low-carb monster (which, by the way, has a new spout that allows you to reseal it = awesome)
  • 4.5-mile walk during lunch with Sharp Objects.
  • More work = day dragging on
  • Back to the gym (this time with Stacy!) for a .5-mile walk + 3-mile run. I hadn't run in 21 days (a little here and there - but not my schedule 10K-training runs!). I did it! Was it hard? Yes.... but I did it! I also did a shoulder/tricep/chest workout!
  • Then it was shower time and off to Eclipse de Luna for a blogger meet up!! I'll recap our evening tomorrow when I have pics (my camera was dead - SAD!!)
  • Now it's 10 p.m. and I just got home and Cush & Katie are here - yay - off to have a drinkie!!
Reuben + Remy Update
Reuben has discovered that little sis, Remy, can not get up on chairs. He taunts her while holding his new, too-large Halloween toy - an orange dachshund in a witch's hat
Thanks for taking this, Austin! I just about died when I saw it. So like Reubs. And if you said something to him he'd be all, "What? Me? No.... I didn't realize she couldn't get up here!" LOL

Q: Halloween Plans? We're in town and trying to lay low this weekend! I think we're going to dress the pups up to go visit with the Wilson's (Stacy & Shane) at their Halloween party, then tucking in early. Sunday I plan to go for a long walk with homecookedem and finish a video - WOOP! We also have the 311 show at The Fox - SO pumped.

Q: Favorite Halloween candy? Reese's cups - they're just amazing. Those miniature ones are my true enemy personal favorite.

It was so fun to see you again. I can't believe it's been a year!

Murphy loves those dog toys. He destroys them within minutes though.

Low key Halloween this year but we carved pumpkins that we got last weekend at the pumpkin patch. That pic of remy & Reuben is soo funny! What a tease! Oh and fav Halloween candy def has to include chocolate & pb, chocolate & mint or chocolate and Carmel.

Gabriela said...

Okay, now I REALLY want a candy corn shot- it sounds delicious!! MY fave candy was definitely Reese's as well- though I also loved Butterfingers and Hershey's!

Tyler said...

I love peanut butter cups but the minis just don't do it for me. I don't really have any Halloween plans. I'm going out tonight for a friend's B-day but tomorrow I'll probably just chill. Maybe check on the little bro and sis in law!

Hope your weekend is fabulous! Tell Mr. Reuben to be a nice boy!

I am so happy to have met you last night!! I can't wait for the next time. It felt like we had known each other forever. :)

Joanne said...

Love the candy corn shots! Such a fabulous idea. One of my friends had a party last night and she just melted some candy corn into vodka. Not as tasty. By a long shot.

Mica said...

Agreed. Reese's cups are awesome. Do you like the regular size or the mini better?

Your dogs are too funny! I don't think Bodger is that smart...

Biz said...

I love that Reuben's toy is so big!!

Hope you had a great weekend - I've had exactly 3 trick or treaters, and I think that's about all I'll get! :(

Favorite candy? Baby Ruth!

I read your blog often but I am bad at leaving comments. I am trying to be better and reach out more in the blogging community. I am 5'2 and weigh 131. Last November I weighed 136and vowed I would get in shape. Well a year has gone by and I've only lost 5lbs. I take a lot of inspiration from your blog because I know you started around the same weight. If you have any tips so I can make my next year a better one I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Ah, jealous that you got to hang out with Em. I miss her already!

Hope you had a great weekend! Too cute about Rueben and Remy.
